    Quite a tired looking building externally. Confusing access arrangements when I arrived and a curious absence of staff (until breakfast).

    A huge room with a comfy bed and excellent en suite facilities. Breakfast was nice and I enjoyed the classical background music - more places should do this!

    An eccentric little hotel in a great location

    Finding the place was difficult because of the one-way system. The parking is supposed to be secure, but when we were there the automatic gate was broken. Not a very big deal, the crime rate in Diest is not high, but there was no need for the zapper that they lent us. However - we were lucky to have any parking at all!

    This is a very quirky hotel, you need to leave a trail of breadcrumbs to find your way around! It's located right in the middle of town, so it's easy to get around (once you find somewhere to park the car, but that's another story). You will need your Flemish, nobody seems to speak English or much French either, but that's your fault not theirs!

    Could not connect to free WIFI Access code supplied when booking for front door. Keys in sealed envelope at reception. No staff available when checking in, very disappointing as i required private parking for my bike Nobody answered phone when i required assistance.

    Very comfortable and clean room. well presented and tasty breakfast. Easy waking distance to local square for dining and sight seeing.

    not enough parking we chose this as we were in transit and only 5 spaces we had to park on road which was ok as free but our car was vandalised during the night not serious but would impact our decision to stay in this area again!

    Quaint old building and lovely friendly gentleman on reception

    It was clean and easy to access. We we’re camping near by but out tent got flooded due to the heavy rain so we had to book a last minute stay. It was exactly what we needed, large room with a large bathroom. Perfect place to just readjust after such a trip.

    Hotel has seen better days

    We were greatly disappointed when we arrived at the hotel. Booked a parking spot on the hotel premises two months in advance, to discover upon arrival the spot was in fact not available (even after they sent confirmation two days earlier). on a Saturday afternoon in the city center it was not easy to find annavailable parking spot! All of this caused delays in our planning. Moreover, my mother who is not very mobile had to walk quite some distance between the hotel and the car. The hotel itself has definitely seen better days, it’s pretty run down and needs an urgent makeover. The lighting in the rooms, especially in the bathroom, is not sufficien (and a bit eary), I could hardly put on any make-up, because it was so dark in the bathroom. No storage or hooks whatsoever in the bathroom.

    the staff were very friendly and helpful!

    The hotel has seen better days. The double bed in the premium room consisted of two single beds pushed together - a relict of the 1980s... While the breakfast was filling, it was very continental, i.e. bread, cold-cuts and no eggs.

    The gentleman at the front desk was very fiendly and chatty. The architecture of the building is very interesting. The breakfast was very filling. The off-brand AESOP soap and shampoo in the bathroom were good quality.
